Cerruti 1881 Eau de Toilette 100ml Spray Flavia Oud and leather sit front

Oud and leather sit front and centre — that warm

almost-feathered base that turns warm against skin without asking for attention

Two or three pats with a cotton pad

cut with sea salt — the opening is sharp and zesty

Three sprays in the morning hold through the working day without needing a top-up

Cerruti 1881 Eau de Toilette 100ml Spray Flavia Oud and leather sit frontCerruti 1881 opens with galbanum and bergamot that green, slightly sharp opening that leans herbal rather than fruity. The heart softens into carnation and rose, then settles into a warm amber and musk base that doesn't announce itself. Eau de Toilette, 100ml spray. Two or three spritzes in the morning sit close to the skin, closer to a second skin scent than projection. Good for someone who wants fragrance that whispers rather than shouts.
